PLEASE READ
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please call a local emergency telephone number or go immediately to the nearest emergency room.
the thing that I hate the most, is that the media glorifies this personality as cool and sexy and intelligent.
and the rest of society for that matter, people are often rewarded for anti-social tendencies, especially in the workplace.
Because most of them work in the media
the evil bastards network to turn the world against consciousness
Yes!
Its not a personality. Its a personality DISORDER
For anyone here with ASPD I'd like to tell you that just because you have this, doesn't make you a monster, you can learn and grow and become better at attachments and empathy.
I really like it though
Lol oh but we are monsters muahaha jk i learned to be good to good and bad to bad
The pancake system....what's mean APSD and what were your syptoms please in the starting ...what was people reactions?what do yoi do after diagonosing this like what type of things do you do?
Learn to love others that's hard for you guy's huh ?! Mental health is important💯
Pancake, your pretty cute.
Psychopaths are not crazy. That's what is so dangerous about them. They know what they're doing.
Anyone who believes they have this should rule out Covert Narcissism first.
Also, keep in mind Asocial is not the same as Antisocial.
I get so irritated when people confuse the two.. I'm like, "no you're not anti social you're just asocial. Spend two minutes on the internet and learn the difference"
^^^^^^^
Jefferson, do people really mix those two up? Anti socials usually aren't concerned, let alone convinced, that they are anti social. I thought people that are asocial would be aware?
Vengeance627 your profile pic is creepy as hell
@well well lol
Just discovered that my dad had this one, and wondered why he never loved me. And now i have bpd. Thank you to clarify about this disorder
Bpd isn't sociapthic personality disorder just looking for a tree to climb up but not to move in x
Sorry to hear it’s often not people’s fault for their disorders.
Parents really dont realize how much gravity their relationship holds to their children. I feel like i wouldve been so much better off if my parents just fucking loved me
@@weedrat7866 it's difficult to know how to love do we buy you a house do we buy you a car or just take you for a walk round the park cards hugging sniffing being free but to grapple with another body would lead to a union so intensely committed you couldn't arrested you with a standard holiday in Greece so it's only recommended with pets not dogs Abra have fun xxx

Thank you for making this video. I like that you make it clear that not everybody with this disorder is a killer or dangerous to be around.
NikeAirForce but most are.. The one’s that are self aware and try to not give into their impulses so greater restraint but the one’s that don’t know they are or don’t care are VERY dangerous and need to be avoided at all cost. Either there gonna abuse u emotionally, physically or financially or all 3. I have borderline personality disorder and lack empathy but for a long time I didn’t know or care and I messed a lot of people up until the same happened to me, that’s what it took for me.
NikeAirForce i would like it but it’s at 69😔
I was diagnosed with this in prison. I always knew something was wrong but never truly knew what it was. They say we are unable to love which I think is pure bullshit. I love my kids and would do anything for them. On the other hand I have no problem breaking the laws as long as I plan it out down to every little detail. I've also ridden with an outlaw motorcycle club so I'm sure that helped it worsen as we have our own rules and don't care about normal rules or laws. The one thing that really ticks me off is people saying we are incapable of loving someone. I absolutely love my ex girlfriend and would do anything for her. No I do not look at her as my property. She's helped me so much . She's helped me break away from the mc life. She's helped me feel compassion towards others to a certain degree. She was so good for me and she's the only person I could truly trust and tell anything to. With her gone I see myself slipping back into my old ways and going back to the m/c..
Imagine you're planning a crime and you pause for a moment. A vision pops into your mind, you're looking into the eyes of the people you're about to take for a ride and it's the faces of your children. How do you feel about going thru with it now?
@@TheFriendlyPsychopath that is a sociopath not a psychopath, but at the end your an edgy teenager because a real psychopath or sociopath don’t say stupid shit like you.
I don't know what doctor you saw, as for me I don't give a s*** about anybody but myself!
@pug I don't have mental illness as I was born this way, bloodthirsty/monster/movie persona? That's funny, you watched one too many Hollywood movies. Good luck with your mental illness.
My husband has this aunt that is the most toxic person. She is diagnosed Bipolar, however I don't think that what she has. (It was a long time ago she was diagnosed) but she is like 60 and hangs out with 22 year olds and smoke pot, she has made a career out of going to school, has degrees where she could make good money and refuses to work, was waiting until her parents died to get "her money" ( her Dad was a cardiologist) and lives in this constant party state. She is "always right" her way is always the best. You could be cutting an apple and she will tell you how to do it better, and why her way makes more sense. She has struggled with every relationship (familial) and no one in her entire family can stand her yet many just cave to her and do as she wants because its "easier". She could never hold down a job (she was a nurse) because she would always act like she knew more than the doctors. She was so bad it got to the point where in our town she couldn't get a job. She loves to brag and has to have constant "pats on the back" She is the most vile person I have ever met and I have never met anyone with a personality like hers. I think she has Antisocial Personality Behavior or has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Her personality is constant and doesn't go through swings like bipolar does. Wish someone would really sit down and evaluate her. Lol
I wish people would put out more self-help video about this condition
This doesn't have anything to do with psychology but I really love your shirt, the colour suits you really well! Great video too, as always. Xoxo
I wish I'd had your channel when I was taking abnormal psychology in college!
Kati, I'm back in school and watch your videos daily towards my professional psychology degree and I really enjoy your content and am glad to have found your channel. Thank you and keep up the great work!!
The part of "commit crimes" should be taken out of the DSM. This is a manifestation of personal opinion and not of science. A person may commit a crime, frequently, due to a fundamental reason which has nothing to do with psychological condition - E.g, failing to return a loan, then getting in a fight with the loan shark, for example. This is a simple fact that many ppl in government, in the army and even on the police force are ASPD and they manage it. They never committed a single crime in their lives. Yet, if any of them is somehow killed today and you make an autopsy on his brain you will find his amygdala saturated with nor epinephrine. So question is, what are YOU doing? Is it science or is it sucking up to the public opinion?
Yes! I'm so sick of the DSM neurotypicals warning people about a "defective" community when they should be educating people about a *marginalized* and *deeply misunderstood* neurodivergent community. I'm ADHD so I'm stuck with "loud, tiring, impatient" and, the most insulting, "avoids tasks that require extended mental effort." They make a shy, empathetic, mathlete (who uses ADHD's trademark hyperfocus to master lots of studying and hours long "mental effort" competition days) out to be lazy and draining. They need to get some people who actually have these illnesses into the writing room.
They may leave it this way because is more conventional. just put "criminal behavior" and now you can label everyone in prison as having a mental disorder, now you can calm down the masses because only those who have a mental problem would be in prison.
Of course this is problematic, it devalues the decades of research done for this condition just to appease the public.
I have someone in my life who has this disorder. As a child they were forced by the circumstances to steal but now they've said they're only doing it for the rush
yeah people are breaking rules and committing violence all the time
it can't be a special trait only one percent has
@@thehailcameanditpiercedmyl1584
like out of habit ?
One thing that I was surprised that this video didn't include was the distinction between the clinical term "antisocial" and the casual term "antisocial". While the clinical term means that the person is actively disregarding society, the casual term is often used to describe someone shy, introverted, and maybe even socially anxious.
I think since more people are likely to relate with the casual term, it would've been helpful for most viewers to be explained that distinction, because I know it was something that was surprising and eye opening when I first read about antisocial personality disorder.
Thank you for explaining these so well for my nursing mental health exam! You're great!!
as a psych student Im finding these videos super interesting and helpful!
I’m so interested in psych, especially psychopathy and sociopathy
Good thing u dont put diagnose till 18 years old. Cuz every 12-16 year old is goin around "OMG IM PHYSCOPAT IM JEFF THE KILLER SO COOL I DONT GIVE A SHIT"
+Ayse Can Basically Tumblr -_-
The brats just are trying to be edgy, yes, annoying as hell : /
Bullshit, I was diagnosed when I was thirteen just got rejected by the military last month because of it.
Mike Vasquez how did you get diagnosed was it by a school counselor or a doctor
Fox and Bat they don't feel? They pretend not to feel. if they try to use me or play me I overcome them with their own foolishness and then they go away because the FEEL HURT!
Thank you for this video! It's wonderful to see accurate information, as opposed to biased name-calling, spread about this condition. You were 100% correct in that we tend to view others as resources rather than actual people (we also tend to become highly possessive of those resources).
Something you may be interested to know is that 99% of diagnoses take place in correctional facilities which heavily skews the statistics about ASPD. Not all are typical law breaking criminals, and some are even doctors, scientists, judges, police, or lawyers (although all of the above are often criminals themselves).
Manipulation is like a compulsion for us. I know I'll do it one way or another, so I manipulate people into doing what's in their best interest. I don't mind getting caught because I'm not losing anything anyway.
A common misconception is that we lack empathy. We can simply turn it off, and most won't turn it on unless they see value in it (I prefer to keep mine, it allows me to blend in better and avoid altercations).
I was diagnosed at 19 but have mostly outgrown the worst traits, for what that's worth. Again, thank you for this video.
So glad you're back! :) I really missed your videos last week.
I love this, i had no idea about this, thank you for teaching me something new Kati!! xx
Your wealth of knowledge is evident, it’s a good approach to break down all the clinical terms into everyday relatable language us non therapists can understand and relate to! That shows a lot of intelligence and concern to communicate the information in this way.
yay, finally new stuff ^^ I really missed your videos last week.
I love these videos they’re interesting and they inform me on important stuff
I'm so glad I found your channel. Thank you for doing this.
Thanks for this video, im getting tired of hearing people call anyone who does something bad "psychopath" when they dont even know what it means, or as if it was a joke
For real
Kati, can you please please do more videos on this topic? This is a VERY light overview and one of my friends has this diagnosis and I want to help them manage their condition as best as possible.
I feel like this video (although informative, don't get me wrong) focused on the stigma and not the people who have this condition as people.
Well done, but you really should get it from the perspective of the person who has it. It really is misrepresented by professionals.
How do you feel it is misrepresented? I am really curious because, here's the thing, It comes down to perception. The DSM is not a document that is there for judging. It states that you have to have X criteria to be considered. That's it. That is what professionals are doing and representing it as. Now, this was a 6 minute video, obviously not all information ever presented on APD is going to be here and it can manifest itself in different ways, so that is why I am curious as to how you think it is misrepresented...
I'd say it's misrepresented more by the media than professionals.
But I do see how professionals can misdiagnose. ASPD can be diagnosed by a MH ward and then the therapist that works with the patient on an outpatient basis can change the diagnosis because they've had or will have significantly more time with the patient.
But psychological testing, observing the patient, using the DSM-V criteria, and therapist-patient relations usually gets the diagnosis to where it's needed so the treatment can have the most positive effects .
@@jeanp.5929 the professionals usually leave out context for it, which causes people to misinterpret it. Like psychopaths can still care for others and want to get into relationships, but it's not the same as a normal person would, but with how it's written people assume it means psychopaths can't feel love or want to be with someone. Some psychopaths don't depending on the severity of their condition since it's not just a "you don't have this anymore" kind of condition.
No it’s misrepresented by the media they’re like haha they kill everybody and abuse people and professionals say the truth and how they don’t always murder everyone
I lived and worked with somebody who most certainly had this. It's not an insult. I just hope he figures out a way to not hurt people for his own entertainment.
katy thank you for your videos i'm a 14 year old in high school who wants to be a psychologist when i grow up your videos are really helpful !!!
i have seen discussions about the physiology of psychopathy, how a certain aspect of the brain architecture is distinctly different in the brain of the psychopath. Its a very interesting topic, especially given that corporate culture and police/military culture favors the psychopath in terms of rising to positions of power and control. A very interesting topic indeed!!
Yeah it seems that some soldiers or people who their job is to do really crazy things sometimes have symptoms of narcissism or Psychpathic, sociopathic behavior.
Thanks.. It helped me a lot with my case in my Masters studies.
Wowza, I've never heard it so clear & to the point!!
I was diagnosed with cluster b dark tetrad (psychosis, malignant narcissism, sadism and antisocial).. I was never diagnosed with conduct as this was a voluntary test at a friends request..I've been listed as high functional and do work, pay rent, live life "normally" but believe me self control over impulsivity is an exercise in near zen practice.. For all practical purposes I can come off as "normal" or some facsimile of it..
Saints of sorts. Like Russias Holy Fools
Love your videos ! Learned a lot !
Girl you're genius I always find right simple complete information here how professional 💕
🤣😍😍🤪😍😍
i always say that some people are crazy but some believe we are crazy so as long as you don’t harm others its fine with me.
i believe that we become accustomed to do the things that worked before or copying what others used to grow as well.
its complicated because we judge by actions but never by intentions.
You got it right !!! Specifically, It is refreshing to hear you say and explain something that a lot of inexperienced therapies miss in their sessions- that in order to get the real picture and help the patient in their healing path, one must include family and fiends. This is because they will never admit to their lies and will never bring to therapy a clear picture of their behavior. I️ don’t believe the statistics though. They can’t be that low when the only ones studied are the ones that have gone through the criminal system- I️ Personally know two- Yes. I had the unfortunate luck of meeting two in my personal life. Not an easy thing to deal with yet, I️ have learned so much about this personality disorder that I️ feel like an expert. Wish this on no one .
My husband is not a social person but he doesn't have "antisocial disorder" as a friend of mine who's a DMHP has said. My husband is a very loyal person and nice person. He only has a few real friends. I have to deal with a true psychopath. She has no conscious, is very self centered, and very "demonic" a person might say. Example of what this actual psychopath had said to me recently. She recently said that she wants an electric cord so she can wrap it around someone's neck and see how long it takes them to die. She's also disconnect from reality big time. She's in a state mental hospital because she wants to burn apartment buildings and houses, steal babies with the belief that the actual mother can't prove its hers, she wants to take pins, knives, things like that and hurt animals and people. She thinks that she's a doctor one minute, a police woman the next, and God who knows what else 5 minutes later or less. She thinks the world owes her a living. She would be so dangerous if she ever got lose so she's literally locked up permanently, away from windows and all. .
Thank you kati. Educational.
you're an awesome teacherrrrrr
#KatiFAQ I have severe anxiety and depression. I often get overwhelmed with school work, especially projects and writing assignments. When I'm at school I feel like everything has to be perfect or it's not good enough. But when I'm at home I have no motivation to do whatever project or writing assignment I have. Then when I start to work on it I have an anxiety attack. It's almost like the depression voice and the anxiety voice are fighting each other inside my head. Is there anyway to stop the fighting? Ps I love your videos.
As a diagnosed psychopath I can say truthfully that we do not experience love or capability to have emotions, we don't have empathy but we have the ability to understand exactly what we are doing but don't seem to see the wrong of what we're doing ,we have learned empathy that we display its called the mask of sanity or (blending in )in other words which makes us extremely hard to distinguish
I know I have it, and no one will work with me!!! its actually hell, when you realise its you that has it. I would say my brain is wired completely different to a person that loves or feels empathy towards another...I try to be that way but I just cant think like it. im not excusing being psychopathic but I really need to people o know it isa condiotion you are bornwith and you cannot snap your fingers and change....
+Nettie Maxted its definitely to do with not forming proper attachments to people...do you think this has to do with when someone is born??? I didn't connect with my mum when I was born...apparently thatcan causea lack of conscience and relationships...I remember feeling abandoned and a lot of emotional pain which has in time turned into coldness towards people.
+Nettie Maxted you're not alone, I used to think I was completely normal and that everyone felt the same way I did, but now just recently I started going to a psychologist for concentration problems which lead to me discovering my extreme apathy and then learning I had ASD. It was confusing and I found it merely entertaining at first, but now I'm starting to feel a bit isolated because now I realize that no one understands that I feel completely normal, I'm just really not I guess
+Nettie Maxted, at least you admit it. Guarantee most sociopaths will vehemently reject the label as it carries immense negative connotations.
+Nettie Maxted Did you get diagnosed? Or do you just want that diagnosis? What did doctors say?
+Nettie Maxted I once saw a documentary on antisocial personality disorder where they compared the scans of diagnosed sufferers to those of "normal' people. One specific area of the brain was less active in all of the diagnosed group, making the disorder almost comparable to Autism in a way, but due to the malfunctioning of a different part of the brain. I believe that you can learn certain behaviour that comes natural for most people.
4K?? wow this is even more amazing now....
With "Antisocial Personality Disorder", do you see a correlation with lack of empathy?
Yes.
+Scott Swain that's the main manifestation of this disorder
That's the chief complaint of most family members or loved ones of someone who's been diagnosed with apd.
the problem is there's different types of empathy. Cognitive Empathy (people with ASPD can feel this but people with ASD or autism have trouble doing this), Actually Empathy (people with ASPD have trouble or don't feel it but people with Autism can) empathy is more complicated than it seems to be.
Cognitive empathy is not felt, it is logically understood, it means to be aware and be able to recognize anothers feelings. To care and feel for somebody you have to have affective empathy. Sociopaths lack affective empathy. Some of them (those on the higher functioning end of the spectrum) are capable of cognitive empathy, it actually improves their ability to manipulate others.
Can I tell ya when I saw you on Shane’s video I was all excited I’ve watched your videos on and off for a while and I was like heeeeyyyy I watch her !!!
has the rate of people with antisocial personality disorder gone up in the past 4 years? in this video you say 1%, but in your latest video you say 4%
Nobody really knows an exact stat
S M 1% of the population are psychopath and 4% are sociopaths.
Given the culture and crime of third world countries and Latin America, I’d defiantly say that the “1% of population has it” only relates to first world, privileged countries. I’d say that it’s at least five times that I’m high crime countries. As they say, sociopaths are made, not born.
Just a reminder: "psychopath" and "sociopath" are scientifically meaningless terms. They hold the same diagnostic validity as the term "crazy."
Travis normal people commit crimes all the time. Especially under the influence of drugs and alchohol. You don’t have to be a psychopath to murder or steal in the right situation
I thought to myself today there is nobody talking about this and decided to do a video, then came across you and a couple of others. It’s so good to see 🙂 I suffer from the same thing and I’m going to start talking about it on my channel. Keep it up! Ben x
Sociopath’s Times It’s hard out here man :(
Is this disorder genetic or brought on by trauma?
+Megan Marie Both or maybe one or the other.
+Megan Marie it could be genetic and it could be brought on by a scaring trauma
Sociopathy is made
Psychopathy is inmate
From all I’ve read sociopaths are made, aspd something person is wired that way
cv 67 💀 wtf
+Lauren faith, I'm going to try to answer you questions accurately, for starters, no, we are not doomed, many like myself have probably adapted so that they fit into society, it's easier for us to survive when people don't know that we have this disorder (as it kind of foils the whole gig), and I can only speak for myself on this, but I do care for other people, just not in the same way that you would, I value relationships as a source for self gratification, and resources. To explain that better I'll put it like this, I want people to like me because the more people that like me, that more powerful I am because I have fewer adversaries and more people on my side, but, no matter how close someone is to me, if they die, I will not feel loss or any emotions of that nature, even if it is my parent, i don't care, everybody dies, and I don't think there is anything wrong with thinking like that because its a fact. Once again, I can only speak for my self but, I don't want to be cured, I don't want to be like the majority of society (stupid). The best way to control the beast is by harnessing it. But I'm not as bad as these videos portray, I'm actually quite harmless unless an individual becomes problematic, in which case, I will only attack them socially or mentally, (death isn't a punishment, it's a natural process). If you have any more questions I have ASPD, and I'm majoring in psychology, so I would love to answer them. (The only reason I'm being so honest with you is because you don't know me, and I don't know you, so the chances of you gaining an advantage over me with this knowledge are slim to none
Alexandra Evans Do you think that a person with antisocial personality disorder could be submissive sometimes so they can get what they want?
They probably wouldn't like it, but depending on the situation, they may tolerate it.
yes dude, I have a rack of questions.. but you posted this in 20 fucking 14.. you still active by chance?
hehe I just felt like I was reading from the Hannibal script...
Christian Shook -
I agree with you. I also have a question, have you ever gotten anyone in trouble with an authority figure because they become an issue or problematic as you would say?
I have a diagnosis of bipolar 1 and antisocial personality disorder. My brother is quite antisocial and my father too however In narcissistic manly ways. I was not socially desirable as a child and therefore I was bullied, this caused a shift in personality for me a change of conduct. My whole belief system was crushed I couldn't even believe why other people adhere to the laws of society after society was so bad to me. It can be productive being antisocial I get quite a lot done. I'm training to be a forensic psychologist and help people like myself who have committed crimes and are misunderstood therefore continuing. I have only found pride previously in violence and now doing this I feel empowered in a positive way.
Love your videos xx
my father is a severe psyschophat. it took me years to handle my own mind, my family & i got abused by him over the years but mostly i got s' abused since my childhood.
at first i hated him, my family, myself. i would be so mad forgetting my own life around me. but after a time you try to understand. understanding and maybe feel sorry for him. he's living all alone of course you are happy to actually be out there but it feels so guilty for letting him handle this ilness on their own. its dangerous, its complicated. But i try to understand, even if its difficult to get how you should act towards him. how you should even face such a person who would do cruel things, who did bad stuff to you and does not show any regret at all.. but somehow you cant offically hate them for dying in their ilness. this ilness this disease is the hell. they cant escape so they have already the baddest life with their own. it's their disease, i feel sorry for everyone involved because this does not get ever away.
Very well explained from one clinician to another LMHP, LADC :)
Thank you
Here after Shane’s mind blowing sociopath video
#katiFAQ Hi kati, my brother has a severe case of autism and depression, it often gets so bad that he will throw stuff around the house, break everything, and yell at everybody, and it really scares me sometimes. Any tips on dealing with this? Thanks!
Kiki Claw I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. I am a psychiatrist at Maudsley Hospital and you might want to try SSRI's or a drug called Fluoxetine to help with the anger. Hope this helps!
Kiki Claw There's a lot of reasons an autistic person can act out like that. But most of them lead back to sensory overload and/or something not being clear enough. If the senses are overloaded, it can be very hard to unload that and/or expres it, as your brain is so full, you can't even think of strategies to resolve it anymore. Add to that the emotion regulation problems that autism often accompanies, and you got a recipe for a meltdown. When something is unclear, the autistic mind, that processes things in highly detailed fractures, can't complete the picture, and another type of overload happens, with similar results.
If it happens due to sensory overload, then you can resolve a lot by preventing as much sensory overload as you can. If you can't prevent it, try to take the sensory overload away as quick as you can, or take him away from the sensory overload, and give him time to process the overload.
There are many helpful devices to help avoid sensory overload. Like noice cancelling headphones, or a Squease Vest (the deep pressure helps regulate sensory input). Stimming toys can also help.
By the way, sensory deprivation is also a thing, though less common. If a child with autism doesn't get enough sensory stimuli, it might start acting out, just to get more sensory stimuli, which actually soothes. If this seems to be the case, find out which sense he/she is trying to stimulate, and give something safe that he/she can use to add that sensory input him/herself. Throwing things are often related to visual and/or sound input. Try and give stimming toys that help give that input.
So to summarise: if it's a sensory issue, try to find out if it's a sensory overload, or a sensory deprivation problem. Then act accordingly.
If the problem lays within the lack of clarity in the situation, obviously being more clear about things is the answer. Now, how do we do that for someone with autism? Often people with autism need answers on these five things: What (most important), Who, Where, When and How. (Wether or not the Why question should be added depends on if it's not too much information at the moment)
For example, I've often heard of cases of people with autism having meltdowns when they were to go to the toilet at school. Turned out their toilet at home was white and the one at school was black. Nobody told them toilets could be other colors as well, so in their minds the black toilets weren't toilets. They felt forced to go poo somewhere they weren't meant to. The 'what' of the types of toilet wasn't clear.
A mum told her autistic kid to hang up his coat. He hung it on a chair. She didn't specify 'where'.
This is not out of defiancy. The autistic person honestly doesn't know.
The need for clarity might not be this severe with each person with autism, but the lack of clarity CAN be a reason for a meltdown. Check if everything was clear without judgement.
PS: I have autism myself, and I'm also an autism professional. If you have any questions left, feel free to ask. If anyone has anything to add, feel free to jump in, as I'm nowhere near perfect and autism is a very wide spectrum.
Kiki Claw Oh, by the way: Emotion is information/sensory input as well, possibly amplified by the emotion regulation problems. The depression can also cause emotions too severe to process fast enough for him, causing a meltdown as a way to unload and/or cope. If this is the case, try to find ways to unload the emotions sooner. Before they explode. A therapist or autism coach can help to find signals that identify when emotion is building up, so he can notice that for himself. Write all the tell-tale signs that he can feel in his body that emotion is building up. Then find strategies that he can use to healthily unload those emotions. Do this together with him, so he knows his tell-tale signs as well, and agrees with the unloading strategies. Write those strategies down as well. So both him, and the people around him, know what tell-tale signs to look for, and how to deal with those, without having to try to think of them in the moment.
So this is to prevent while building up the emotion, not after it has already built up. Remember that while making the plan. Find out what he feels BEFORE he explodes. Some people with autism aren't very well in touch with their body, or know how to express their feelings. If that's the case, a therapist can help with making the plan.
If you unload before exploding, explosion might not even happen. Or not as much at least.
@@ChibiYotsuba I know none of your answers were directed to me but I have to say you are very smart.I have a child with Autism and I’m glad I came across your comment:)/
My OH is a sociopath and he thinks a lot about violence but doesn't carry it out. If he likes someone he will protect them but everyone else is irrelevant in his world. He said if he saw someone being killed in the street, it wouldn't bother him and he would just walk past! I am an empath, so to me that is unbelievable.
THIS IS ME!!!! I FEEL THIS WAS A MESSAGE FROM GOD! THANK YOU Kati
Love your channel
I'm so happy I found your channel! I'm in the beginning stages of getting my BS in Cognitive Psychology, and watching your vids just gets me even more pumped up for when I'm finished and able to practice :)
Great video Kati! : ) I have a question. Why do we push people away and avoid meeting new people, even if they're a great friends/ family member/ person? Over the years I've gradually lost contact with people through slowly drifting apart, or arguments that are caused by me "changing". People try to get me to meet up, but I'll always make an excuse.. I'm in therapy, and have been for a few years but this isn't something I've addressed as a whole, only as individual losses if that makes sense? Thankyou Kati, I would love to hear your thoughts :) xo
#KatiFAQ
The problem with people who have this disorter is that they won't admit there is anything wronge with them. It's not hard for people with disorder because they get everything they want. It's only hard the people around them.
Im antisocial but my feelings are that I think friends way you down but I don't mind having ac few of them.
And I also usually don't feel empathy only if I choose to let it affect me.
What is this?
I'm here because of Shane's video too!
I hope you've read the book ''A kiss before dying''. I was hoping you could tell me what kind of personality disorder the main character has
Hi Kati,
Thanks for the video. Just curious what other diagnosis would be similar to this but without conduct problems? thanks
I don't think ASPD necessarily means you have to suffer from conduct disorder, or even experience conduct problems of any kind. I realize it's not what Kati said, but as someone who suffers from this I can say I rarely get into trouble. I have done a few illegal things in my life, but it's not something most people don't do in their lifetimes. Trespassing on private property and shoplifting are the only things I can remember right now, which is something that many people have done in their lifetimes even if they don't like to admit it.
Why didn't you discus what it might be like to live with this disorder?
It's wonderful
In grad school, we interpreted MMPI tests to diagnos those who were currently incarcerated. Most had Antisocial Personality Disorder, Avoidant Personality Disorder, Major Depression with Psychosis type of symptoms, and or they were trying to test worse off than they were (the MMPI can tell the difference--it's pretty amazing!) After the prof confirmed the diagnosis, she gave up their case notes and history. All of them had experienced a multitude of traumatic events throughout their lives. 90% had some experienced some sort of head injury, like losing consciousness from fights, car accidents, etc. that were usually un-diagnosed and untreated. Their lives were laced with violence that crossed their lifespan and included childhood physical abuse/neglect, prenatal drinking, extreme poverty, childhood substance abuse, addiction, social violence, death of loved ones, etc. So that is what it's like to to live with AVD. Never thought I'd feel empathy for them but I learned that they were born criminals, they were made.
This question brings up multiple questions on why this is a question
Hmm.... hmmm.
Because it doesn’t matter since people with this disorder don’t see a problem with the way they are and aren’t likely to seek out or respond to therapy.
Diagnosed with this, a different counselor put it perfectly. Its not that I dont have the capacity to care for peoples needs and boundaries its just not something I prioritize very highly. Thats not to say I act on that alot. I was talking to some family earlier this week and apparently my Mom screamed at me and shook me alot and left me to cry alone alot while she was losing her mind from 3 miscarriages, from the time I was a few months old to almost 2 years old. I have no doubt that plus my genetics would explain it because the rest of my life was pretty great. Her Dad robbed some stores when he was in his earlier 20's and left the family when they were all about 13, he checks in every 10 years or so lol. And my Dads Dad was in the special forces and had about 3 families before he landed on my Grandma, was always a cold hardcore guy. I myself an high functioning and have a job that involves hurting people to some extent, though I usually help more than I hurt but you cant be TOO affable in this job. Like I said pretty sure it runs in genes
I think I have that trait not caring about others... I always force myself to emphasize people... like a robot...
I just go by my own rules... I don't respect governments, communities... I obey law only because it's benefits me... if law isn't benefits me I break it silently...
I cover my real emotions because nobody gonna understand me, so I imitate them...
it's really good to be that way
very good video :D
it's great you mentioned not everyone with the diagnosis is actually dangerous.
too many people believe that they can know everything about someone becase they are diagnosed with a mental health disorder
Out of topic I like how your hair looks what do you use so its frizz free and shiny? 😊
Do you have any podcast recommendations on learning about mental health conditions and books??? Do you have a podcast???
Super interesting!
I have a question. Can going out in public or going to a job (in which you dread going to) cause panic attacks and really bad anxiety. Just curious.
I was wondering if there were some kind of medical treatment to this personality disorder? Are the people suffering from it put under some sort of medication? Thanks again for the interesting informations Kati!
Thanks
In short, a psychopath is a person whom due to hereditary reasons, has his neurons near his amygdala secret excessive amounts of nor epinephrine. As a result, he is immune to fear and to most, if not all, other higher feelings that he simply does not feel - and he therefore can pursue a target until getting it, regardless of moral or society-acceptable implications. A psychopath does away with the feeling of right and wrong as well. As a side effect of his nor-epinephrine saturation and as an additional Darwinian adaptation, a psychopath can focus at a target while planning what to do with it, while having his pupils constrict aiding focus, not dilate like in a paper I've recently read. I've seen it with my own eyes, a psychopath gave me his stare so I've seen his pupils constrict in real time. Historically, this is a Darwinian adaptation to the role of the clan's hunter, as constricted pupils sharpen focus. Today - as a direct result of this condition link to the role of the clan's hunter - some psychopaths who recognize and manage their condition, excel in the ranks of the police and secret services. Those of whom who don't, usually end up in jail. But the fact that a person did not end up in jail but actually became a highly productive member of his community - does not necessarily mean he is not a psychopath. Therefore, this entire clause of "having trouble with the law", should not be a part of the DSM, because it is simply unscientific.
My brother has this. I completly understand why someone wouldnt want someone else to be controlling them. We all feel this from time to time. Often my brother is the same as he was as a child. Which is also fine! Plenty of adults act childish get by fine.
Where i have problems is when he lies, steals and is physically abusive to others. As soon as you ask to stop, The power struggle starts and you get nowhere. What do you do?
Learn to fight better than he can? Idk sounds like a tough situation.
I have the same problem.
I just cut him out of my life. He doesn't see anything wrong with his actions or not enough to change.
I've learned, even with family, you have to keep unhealthy people at arms length.
After all, your first priority is you.
While I agree cutting them out of your life is fine but how does it help society because you, as everyone else who does this, know that now they are SOMEONE ELSE'S PROBLEM. It fucking sucks because psychopaths just go around doing irreparable damage to countless ppl but sometimes not enough to put them in jail. Its like a giant mosquito that stabs you in the neck and drinks your blood and you just have to wrestle it off and run away but there is no justice and no way to save whoever is next. TBH I just think we should all be scanned and these ppl should be removed from society.
Is it possible to have this disorder and have social anxiety with it?
Even with watching the first 2 minutes and thirty seconds I can relate to this video. I'm curious as to who I would go visit to seek some help
Do you think that you could do a more in-depth video on Anti-social personality disorder? I really do like the way you present it, however, it would be a dream-come-true to have resources for the symptoms, for those who have been formally diagnosed, and resist the anti-social behaviour as much as possible. It's incredibly rough when most of the resources paint the picture of a "psychopathic manipulative jerk", 'cause sometimes you realize it, and you work really hard with your team to change yourself for you, and for those you love and care about. So, it'd be really sweet :)
One of my childhood friends lied all the time, everyday we hung out she always lied about things. And once when I was at her house she killed a toad right in front of me.. with a shovel
Ha
my dad fits most of the criteria (except the crime bit, although he does receive a lot of speed tickets and has to pay great money each month because of it). We have absolutely no way to know how he was before 18 because he is really charming and manipulative which lead everyone around him thinking he was a very smart wonderful person, his father died young, his mother is definitely not the most observant person and his brother looks up on him so they are not a good way to seek information. I've read that it peaks in the twenties and can lower after 40, but for him it's the exact opposite and it's getting more obvious with time.. Of course, he won't see a therapist so I won't ever get a definite answer
My ocd drives me crazy ! Just by watching this makes me want to run. INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS !
It's been 5 years and same since you cemented this but same 😬 I just discovered I might have pure o and watching stuff like this or of other themes I don't have just trigger my ocd
a family member stole thousands from me. And continues to steal and manipulate. this person meets the criteria on this list. this is so devastating ! I don't know what to do next?
WOW! WOW! this is beyond scary. Other family members must learn to protect themselves while also somehow loving this person. A very strange place to be. I pray for peace in this matter.
#KatiFAQ I'm 18 years old and I suffer from EDNOS and self harm. Now that I'm an adult, is there any hope of recovery after having these addictions since age 12? Thanks!
If a person hurts others for no other reason than their own ego, agenda or distorted sense of perception. It doesn't have to be a violent act in the physical sense. More people have ASPD than one might think, because personalities range on a spectrum. The term ASPD is just a euphemism.
Conduct disorder reminds me of Reactive Attachment Disorder. Can or have you talked about r.a.d.? My daughter has been given this diagnosis. Thank you.
They're a bit different. R.A.D. isn't so much of a lack of empathy as it is difficulty attaching emotionally to other people. ASPD is more focused on the innate struggle to empathize, whereas RAD is more the issue of not bonding to parental or family figures.
What does it mean r.a.d?
@@mossiris816 can you tell me about R.A.D?
UA-cam reloaded like five times before I got the video to play. I see you UA-cam trying to prevent me from watching it!
Having said it, it doesn't mean that an ASPD will NOT kill. He might, if he feels this will somehow benefit him and that he will not get caught. Unlike a sociopath, an ASPD acts rationally, with a cool mind. When you say to someone "keep a cool mind" you could just as well have said "think like a psychopath" because it's the same thing. An ASPD will have a tremendous amount of patience and resilience when planning and executing a scheme. Even when it is, he will not think about it as a crime: Since he lacks feelings, an ASPD also lacks the ability to tell right from wrong - as far as the ASPD is concerned, this is simply a way to get ahead in life. Once he has a plan and it deems failsafe to him, the ASPD will go forward and won't look back. Even if it takes dozens upon dozens of years to pull off.
I need this
My father seems to be a sociopath that often goes into psychosis and have to be locked away...
I was clicking this because I'm getting anti-social after the loss og last loved ones I had. But its not me, I'm no psychopath, and I like to be kind. Would you know what I am experiencing then? When I have to be with people for longer than an hour or so, it feels like waiting at the dentist, because they are my loved ones. But when I still had people dear to me, it never made me feel like this
Shallow affect is usually a good give to me, and something about their eyes is different. I find it interesting that psychopathy actually occurs due to an individualized neurochemistry within the brain. A psychopath's brain carries a genetic variation of the MAOA gene or 'warrior gene', variant from a neurotypical brain chemistry - psychopaths are different because they are genetically different. They are born that way, and the gene is dominant, which means they will likely pass it along to their children.
Don’t be ableist to psychopaths.
My mom has this. My child hood has been messed up because of her and her disorder. She doesn't care about anyone except her self. She steals, is controlling, manipulative, she has a gambling addiction and is always going out and asking for money from her boyfriend (she doesn't have a job, she gets money from the state and food stamps), she has gone to the casino multiple times and spent all of her money and we were broke. I've tried counseling, I talk to my dad about it and they think she's messed up in the head. I've moved more than 12 times I've gone to 5 schools because she can't stay in one place and pay the rent on time because of her gambling. I tell her all the time to get help, I went to my guidance counselor and got a gambling addiction counselor that she could call but she doesn't want the help. She's doesn't care that we don't have a good relationship or that we argue all the time it's ridiculous and I don't know what to do. If there's anything you can do please message me back. Thanks (:
Yes, there is something you can do. Once you become of age you can move out. You can leave a note, asking for her to change.
Re PsychoGoRound's advice: Do the first, forget the second. Move out as soon as you can find a better place to live & can pay the rent. No point in leaving a note for your mother since she is obviously not interested in changing for the better.
In what way do you really think, that by a " note " the person will change ?
Great video : )
If we do have it, what should we do for it?i dont wanna change myself
Hi kati i was with a malignant narcissist but my dr who is also trained in psychiatry says he was clearly a psycopath. I ran for my life 1 and half years ago but he threatened me until june this year. I now have cptsd and his new victim has lost her kids to family services,i didnt warn this one and now i feel so bad about myself...i knew she was in trouble and shouldve warned her but they dont listen....the exes are all crazy apparently! My frar is now shes isolated just like i was and he raped me repeatedly at knifepoint,took my phone,money and im so frightened for this new victim....im lucky to be alive,what if she doesnt get lucky? Dont think i could live with that on my conscience so do i reach out & try or stay hidden and quiet like i have been doing?
It's very important for you to get some advice on this from a qualified person. We want to know if there is a SAFE (safe for you) way for you to reach out and help her. Are there any anonymous hotlines that you can call to get advice on this? Perhaps if you even call a non-related hotline, they may be able to point you to the correct resource. Or you can try reaching out to an organization that provides assistance to battered women. I'm thinking that they would have alot of experience dealing with that kind of thing, and so can likely give you some good advice on how best to move forward. I'm praying for you.
I’m using this to study for my individual differences exam 👍 thanks Kati! Found you through Shane Dawson
